I tie this together with the story that when J.K. Rowling did a reading for the general public, and she mentioned that she’d always viewed Dumbledore as gay, the entire crowd broke out into thunderous applause.

For the LIFE of me, I cannot explain this reaction. not Ms. Rowling’s reaction, but the audience reaction. Can anyone explain this? I keep thinking about it, and I can’t explain it.

As a gay man, I’m slightly touched by her view on Dumbledore, but I see no reason to even nod in approval, much less break out into thunderous applause. It makes absolutely no sense to me that a general audience would break out into applause. Can ANYONE here explain it?

In that way, this bizarre British coddling of these men having public sex together, while a man doing whatever he is doing with his bicycle, fits into the picture. It’s inexplicable as well.
